Chapter 00 - Intro

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The country of Sylvania is a prosperous and rich one ruled by both light and darkness. Because of these two elements ruling over one land there is never peace in this great country. Only constant war.

Towards the coast lies the kingdom of Serenity and the home of Knights of the sacred tree. Sworn protectors of a sapling, which grew from a seed that the withering tree of life Yggdrasil had graciously offered. Only one other seed had been graciously given to the mortal races of the world. The Knights were made of many different races in order to protect the seeds because they are the remaining hope for the world. For you see with out a mana tree everything will wither away to barren waste.

The sapling, the child of Yggdrasil known as Vagdrasil is the reason why the country of Sylvania is so lush. For miles and miles the countries environment ranges from tropical jungles from the south to swamps, thick forests and tall dangerous snow capped mountains.

However on the other side of the mountains lay a waist land all the way to the bitter coast. Thick black ooze could be found all over the land, it was tainted mana, no more than that it was the blood of the great tree Yggdrasil. The reason for the tree's slow corruption was the demons that tainted the ancient elves and corrupted their ways. At the foot of Yggdrasil once stood the great city of E'drian but now in its place was the city of sin and corruption. Demonia.

Over in the kingdom on Demonia humans, beast and fae alike are all seen as slaves and dogs. Unless you have demonic blood in you there was no warm welcome. The ruler, the one who led the demons against the elves was known as Hellipris. He was a strong unruly man who only cared for sex, money and most of all power. He was the one who struck the great tree and bathed in it purest mana, its blood. After that all mana in the land turned black, it wasn't as potent anymore but would give anyone a wonderful high.

The king of demons, Hellipris became invincible. He had strength, speed and a knowledge of magic that no one, not even the wisest age knew. He was a threat on many smaller countries and most of all Serenity.

The war immediately followed. The kingdom Serenity at first was winning the war. With the help of the dwarves they were able to use the mountains as a barrier between the two kingdoms but also navigate through the mines for surprise attacks. Victory was almost in sight but they forgot about the demon king and his strength.

With one lethal spell he created a path, a valley in the mountains granting the demons a full frontal assault to the peaceful kingdom. Things were not looking good for Serenity. Their people were in trouble and with the strongest kingdoms fall many others will also have to submit to the darkness.

There was no hope in sight until the queen, 9 months with child stepped forward into the battle field. With her knowledge of white mana and the help of the dieing tree of Yggdrasil she managed to kill the demon king by imprisoning his power in the baby inside of her.

Immediately after she gave birth to a lovely baby boy naming Alexander. Then she passed away.

Upon her death the Knights who brought both seeds were formed. One seed was sent across the land to the other continent while this one, Vagdrasil remains, prosperously growing along with the prince

Many years had passed since the war between Demonia and Serenity. The kingdom flourished once more but danger was always lurking around the corner. For the demons still had a ruler. As the Queen of Serenity gave birth so did the Queen of the Anicent elves who had been kept as a slave to Hellipris. The Prince of Darkness.

The Dark Prince might not have the strength of pure mana behind him he still had his fathers natural strength and his mothers gift with magic making him a formidable opponent.

At first Serenity did not fear until a seer, one who can see into the future and is neither evil nor good told of a prophesy. A future that could be.

The Prince of Light will be torn in two
His body must be taken
His heart must be forfeit
If this comes into being
The Dark Prince will gain the Power
The trees will fall to dust
But fear not little children
Not all hope is lost
Up from the Knight he will rise
With darkness in his bones
A savior to all mankind

With this new information the prince is now a sought after being by everyone, even people of his own kingdom. War immediately broke out but not only between Serenity and Demonia. Many other smaller kingdoms now drew up arms hell bent on gaining that power

The knights of the sacred tree swore an oath to protect the prince of light. While the prince of darkness swore to capture him.

In the end who will reign over Sylvania?
